Circling
scenic 930 acre Greenleaf Lake, the 16 mile primitive trail begins and
ends in Greenleaf State Park. The trail is designed for
overnight
backpacking but is also excellent for day hikers. The trail passes through
areas which allow hikers to view many species
of wildlife. (Ticks are
abundant, so bring your repellant) The trail passes through Military
Department as well as State Park lands and
as some areas are periodically
used for military maneuvers, and by the Wildlife Department for public
hunting, it is important to
observe any posted regulations. Hikers must
also register at the park office for a briefing before hiking the trail.
It is also suggested to
call the office ahead of time to check trail
conditions. The trail was built and is maintained by an Oklahoma City
based backpacking
club. The Trail is closed only closed only from Oct. 23 to Oct. 31
and Nov. 20 to Nov. 28
